4.6 / 5.0(2,030 reviews)

We dropped in to Milagros because it was conveniently located next to some cute shops on the main road and were pleasantly surprised. The open air restaurant and patio has a very nice atmosphere, even on a rainy day. The service was quick and the food was good. Wonderful pork tacos, rice and beans and plantains on the side. Green smoothie and a capparinia were delicious. Decent prices and a cute little gift shop out front. It was great. Absolutely amazing! Highly recommend visiting here at any time of the day especially during live music. Lovely vibes, bilingual, happy and helpful staff. 10/10 would recommend coming here if you are looking for a relaxing atmosphere in the garden dining or lively environment at the bar. Seared fresh caught tuna was some of the best I’ve ever had! I came here twice during my trip and absolutely loved it both times! The banana macadamia nut pancakes were amazing—fluffy, flavorful, and packed with macadamia nuts. I also had an iced mocha that was perfectly balanced and delicious. There’s plenty of seating, even for larger groups, so we never had to wait long. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even better. Highly recommend if you’re in the area!

Great food and drinks. I had the ceviche, calamar as appetizers and they were great, I really liked the calamar not fried as usual but sautéed: delicious. My 2 favorites were the fish and shrimp tacos, some of the best I have had. Prices are good and service is great. They have plenty of seating separate areas, WiFi has a limit :( … but the Passion Fruit cheesecake tho…. this was definitely a favorite during our trip.

Stopped here for breakfast and was seriously impressed! The food was absolutely delicious, and the latte was so good I came back another day just to have it again. Service was fast and friendly, and we got our food quickly. Highly recommend this spot if you’re in the area!
